Olympic Crocheting

Melissa and I each crocheted a scarf for the Special Olympics World Winter Games. The scarf project encourages a connection between scarf makers and the athletes and adds to community awareness.


Organizers of the scarf project ask that makers include a short note to the athlete who will receive his/her scarf, which I think is a nice touch.
It's fun to think that some young man or woman at the Special Olympics winter games in Idaho will be wearing the scarves we made. We hope our athletes know how much we're rooting for them!

If I can finish by the deadline, I'd love to try, it'd be a great project for this weekend when its so cold outside - seems fitting, crocheting something that will keep another person warm and (hopefully) smiling.
